There’s a new Starbucks collaboration in town. And this time it’s with the fashion brand ban.do, which has worked with the company before.
Customers in Canada and the United States, rejoice! Now you can get your hands on some limited edition merchandise thanks to the latest collaboration between Starbucks and the brand ban.do.
While this is not the first time the two companies have teamed up on a collaboration, this is the first time it has been made available in North America. According to the press release from Starbucks, this particular collection “is in response to the growing interest and popularity of past collaborations between Starbucks and ban.do in Asia Pacific.”
It should come as no surprise that this new collaboration features brand new mugs and other travel-related drinking cups. However, it also includes some fall-themed stationary items as well.

Among the offerings that North American customers can pick up are one mug, two cold cups, two double-wall traveling mugs, pencil pouches, and notebooks. There are two different designs available, although the midnight floral design will be a Target exclusive.
This means that if you are in love with the midnight blue background loaded with fall-inspired florals, you will have to head to your nearest Target location. The others, which feature “ban.do’s cozy icons design,” can be found at all other Starbucks locations, including those in grocery stores, airports, and other non-free-standing locations.
The exclusive collection is set to launch as of Sept. 5. And as a limited edition release, once the merchandise is gone, it won’t be back. Considering how popular previous collaborations with ban.do have been for Starbucks, we anticipate that this one will be as well. And with the added bonus of super cute designs, you may want to grab them up quickly.
This is not the first major collaboration between Starbucks and a fashion brand, as they have also teamed up with Lilly Pulitzer (among others) in the past. And of course, this is not even the first collaboration between the company and ban.do, as they have worked together on previous international collections before as well.
Considering how popular many of these limited edition cups can be, it makes sense that customers would want to see even more of these exclusive collaborations. Who wouldn’t want to drink their Chai Tea lattes and Mocha Frappuccinos out of fun, cute, and even sassy tumblers and mugs?
And considering this collection features a fall theme, there is no better time to head to Starbucks and get your hands on a brand new cold cup or mug for the season. Your Pumpkin Spice Latte will thank you.
